The guy that owns that capri is really a ford dude. He had a nice xy rep but did a swap for the capri. He went to Sawkas and ended up with the h rpes virus.thats how he ended up with Mitch k so still a little bit of brag for us blue oval clowns

I think they were rusted out and it was a part of the weight reduction program. Things were diced and cut all over the place. He had a field day with the hole saw too

Now thats what I'm talking about!! I used to drive that car ever weekend until that little miss hap on the gas at the track when the rear UNI decided to **** it self shifting into top gear, Tailshaft belting the floor and smashing the powerglide case. thats when the car came off the road and 10 years later GTP owners (jason Lemon) XA was born.

I have 100's of drag photos from the late 80's through the 90's. If there is any interest I will post them.
